A letter I wrote to Roger Martinez
Roger Martinez has sure changed. Here is
His homepage. He used to be a really strong Christian and now
he has become a "satanic athiest." Please join me in prayer for
him. This is a letter I recently sent him.
Dear Roger,
My name is Jon. I am a Christian and was a very big fan of your
music before any of this happened.
I'm not going to go very in depth with trying to disprove you or
anything on any of the facts that you say we don't have. I'll tell you
what I do have. I have Jesus in my heart. No lie. I'm not making it up,
I'm not faking. He has proven Himself to me in such a holy, such a
complete way that no matter how much arguing you force me into, I will
not, and can not deny Him.
I'm sure that you were taken advantage of. But that is the way
that the "Christian" society has become. Most of the people in the
record companies are people who truly are not Christians but are merely
using the label Christian in order to appeal to a certain crowd.
However, that is not to judge anyone salvation. There are some people
who are Christians who make mistakes. I, and you, know that this is
true. If we don't make mistakes, we are not human. I'm sorry that you
were taken advantage of by so many people. You have the right to be
angry. I would probably be too if what had happened to you happened to
me.
I will try my best to give my answer and reasoning behind the 5
questions you asked to Christians....
1. I, personally, believe that masturbation is a sin. It is simply an
act of lust. Christ says to flee lust. The only lust I am to have is a
lust for my wife. (whenever I have one)
2. Whom am I to question the knowledge of God. God knows all, we know
little. So, how can we claim to have all figured out. I'm not gonna try
to argue with you about that. There was a reason for everything.
3. I don't know. I've never heard of that philosophy. What I know is to
love.
4. Some people will not come to Christ because He is love. Some people
are bought to Christ through fear of hell. (which, is something to fear)
5. actually, yes. They are sinners. But they are not of the devil. The
devil has blinded their eyes so that they cannot see the light.
No. I'm not a real philosophical or argumentive person. I just
wanted to write you and tell you my opinions of what you believe.
I don't know if there were any documented cases of healing, but
there have been healings. Numerous healings. Just because you asked some
organization or denomination for some proof and got none, does not
disprove that fact that there have been. Just because there is little
documentation of it happening, doesn't mean that it doesn't happen.
And no, sex is not better than religion. Sex may be fun for the
moment but in the end leads to emptiness and destruction.
"Awaiting the hour, preparing for war, to slay the deniers of Christ".
I don't know what song that was in. Could you enlighten me? I think that
that last phrase is a bit too heavy. You should have never used this in
your music. We are not going to "slay the deniers of Christ." In fact, I
want to save all the people I can. I don't want to have to watch them be
destroyed at the end of time. I wouldn't say I'm preparing to "slay the
deniers of Christ"
*****the heretic****** You know, this is actually true. This
is the way that this "religion" has become. But, the actions of (or lack
thereof) a group of people do not disclaim the truth of what is in their
beliefs....
Well, I was shocked. VERY shocked, when I found your page. I
just thought you were sane and had different beliefs. But, you have
simply used too much obscene language for my comfort. I can't believe
what the devil did to your mind. I will be praying for you (doesn't
matter whether you believe it works or not...). I hope that God opens
your eyes sometime before you die. I love you.
sincerely,
Jon aka Jon97(God's poet man....)
